Typical examples include towbars, roof racks and interior racking.<\/p>\n<p>Wishaw, Lanarkshire-based firm Hireway Vehicle Rental is a case in point.\u00a0The firm provides\u00a0short, medium and long-term rentals and longer-term rental customers can choose to have racking to\u00a0towbars fitted to their vans. Hireway has just\u00a0ordered 40 Volkswagen Transporters and 10 Caddy vans to add to its fast-growing fleet.<\/p>\n<p>Christy McTear, who founded Hireway last year and is currently the operations manager, says that he hopes to add more VW vans to Hireway&#8217;s fleet later this year:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cBoth the Transporter and Caddy are ideal vehicles for the businesses we supply, and with the option of being racked out or having towbars fitted, they can accommodate our varied customer requirements and needs. The ease of the deal has been exceptional and with Hireway looking to expand in the future, we would love to look into extending our partnership with Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles later this year.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Founded in 2016, Hireway runs a 70-van fleet, specialising in supplying vans to companies operating in the\u00a0 electrical, plumbing, heating, repair and maintenance industries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lanarkshire van rental firm Hireway has just orded 40 new Volkswagen Transporter and Caddy vans.
